Zhu Jianshen's concern for Xu Sanduo's affairs was far beyond Xu Bai's imagination.

When he returned to the investigation factory, he learned that Wang Zhi had been urgently summoned by Zhu Jianshen. At this time, Wang Zhi was summoned. Xu Bai thought that Zhu Jianshen was not to ask about Lu Gao's case. He had already explained everything he should ask and said when Zhu Jianshen was there.

Then, of course, it is to verify Xu Sanduo's affairs.

This is the reason. Xu Bai did not intend to ask about it, but sent someone to call Tang Dao and Serena who were still wandering around the streets and alleys outside to find people. Now everyone has been sent home by Bailiqi. Tang Dao and the others are wandering around the streets, just a waste of time and energy.

Tang Dao heard that his "Brother Xu" had been found, and Xu Bai sent him to the other party to protect him. Without saying a word, he happily followed the place Xu Bai said. His excited appearance seemed to be with Xu Bai to the capital, just for the matter. At this moment, the matter was settled and he looked satisfied.

However, Serena looked at Xu Bai with some resentment. She and Tang Dao were walking around Beijing with people and were having fun. She was suddenly called back. Obviously, she could not be able to visit Beijing City, which is like a colorful world.

"If you have nothing to do, stay in the factory and communicate with your colleagues more!" Xu Bai, regardless of her feelings, waved her hand and sent her away. Although he didn't say it clearly, Xu Bai's servants were all in her foreman. If she couldn't understand the meaning of this, she could only say that she was dull and useless.

After it got dark, Wang Zhi came back and said he had gone into the palace with the prince. Xu Bai didn't ask him anything, but he brought back a piece of news that surprised Xu Bai.

In the lobby, Tong Xian was on the side, looking at the official documents of the Investigation Factory, Xu Bai and Wang Zhi were on the other side, and the two were completely chatting.

"The prince went to see the queen mother. The two of them talked for a while, and then talked about the selection of the commander of the Jinyiwei!" Wang Zhi seemed to be talking to Xu Bai, saying what he heard in the palace, but Xu Bai knew very well. If the prince didn't want him to know these words, Wang Zhi would never reveal any of them.

Wang Zhi took the initiative to talk to him about these things, that is, the prince wants to hear his opinions.

"The prince took the initiative to pay attention to the affairs of the Jinyiwei, which is a rare thing!" Xu Bai smiled and said, "You and I know that the prince has always complained about the Jinyiwei!"

"There are no complaints, but I just don't like those trash!" Wang Zhi said with a smile and looked at Xu Bai: "Mr. Xu, I didn't say you. The Jinyiwei is just the Jinyiwei who is the Jinyiwei in the North Ya. The people from our Nan Ya have little to do with them!"

"That's true, if the prince looked down on the factory guards, he would not have decided to build our war factory. Wang Zhengshi, the prince has high hopes for our war factory!"

Wang Zhi smiled and nodded, and continued, "The prince's meaning is that no matter who it is, the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei must be alone. The capital is tense every day and does not look like it. However, the empress dowager and him can make a decision. If the cabinet recommends a candidate, it will definitely not be possible!"

"What do you think of the Empress Dowager?" Xu Bai pondered for a moment. This matter was a trivial matter in the prince's mouth, but I'm afraid many people would not think so.

"The empress dowager's meaning is that she is the leader Xu in the palace. The prince didn't say anything, but her face looked ugly!" Wang Zhi said softly while secretly looking at Xu Bai's expression.

Xu Bai's face suddenly became solemn: "Xu Chengzu? Did the Empress Dowager say it first?"

Wang Zhi nodded, but closed his mouth and refused to say a word again.

"I know this. If you turn back and ask His Highness, please tell Your Highness that Xu Chengzu is loyal to the court and has family background and qualifications. I will be happy to see this commander of the Jinyiwei!"

"Mr. Xu doesn't seem to be unhappy?" Wang Zhi pursed his lips and smiled: "I thought Mr. Xu would be unhappy, but His Royal Highness seemed to mutter, saying that Mr. Xu was interesting, even if he didn't serve as the commander of the Jinyiwei, he could be a commander-in-chief!"

Xu Bai was stunned and laughed: "This matter is a bit unfavorable. I have just gotten off the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei for a few days and went to be the commander of the Jinyiwei again. If you really want to do this, your highness will listen to many gossips from the officials. I won't do this job!"

"It's time and time!" Wang Zhi drooped his eyes and whispered, his voice as if only he could hear it himself. Xu Bai's heart sank, and he had already fully understood what Wang Zhi said.

However, he didn't plan to say anything about this matter. The two chatted a few times and said a few more words about the business affairs of the Investigation Factory. Wang Zhi smiled and said hello to Tong first, asking Tong to take a break first and not stay up late and break his eyes.

When his figure completely disappeared outside the door, Tong Xiancai put down the official document in his hand and shook his head slightly: "Wang Zhi seems to be very concerned about the adults. I believe that as long as the adults nodded, Wang Zhi must have said all the good things to say and also sent the adults to the position of commanding the Tongzhi of the Jinyiwei!"

"It's just a place for him!" Xu Bai smiled: "I've explained this to him clearly, but he is still so anxious that he's afraid something will happen!"

"If I'm right, I'm afraid there will be bad news in the palace soon!" Tong Xian closed his eyes slightly. After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Xu Bai, who was not surprised at all: "Sir, have you thought of it?"

"Xu Chengzu is His Majesty's confidant, the commander of the palace guards. The Empress Dowager asked him to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, but it may not be the Empress Dowager's intention. I'm afraid it is His Majesty's intention. This appointment is almost unchangeable!"

"If that happens, the palace will be worried if the Jinyiwei is put in Lu Gao's hands!" Xu Bai said slowly: "It will not affect whether Lu Gao dies or not. Even if he is still in the position of the Jinyiwei commander today, he must hand over the Jinyiwei obediently!"

"It may also be a will!" Tong Xian said softly: "Anyway, no matter what, something big is going to happen. The cabinet is still fighting with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even mobilizing troops. This is simply playing with fire!"

"Xu Youzhen and his group didn't stop it so easily!" Xu Bai shook his head: "I'm a little worried that even if the prince ascended the throne, he had to use him, and even to make some concessions for him in order not to cause trouble? Now our power is not as good as their power, and this is not something that can be solved by just a wave of a knife. The prince wants reputation, the court is stable, and the scholars in the world want to support him, and come to serve the court one after another. Then, it's really hard for Xu Youzhen and others to beat him to death with one stick!"

He nodded slowly: "You are right. A big thing is going to happen. Lu Gao is probably in vain. Even if the prince is dissatisfied with the cabinet, he is afraid that he will not be able to cause trouble in this matter at this time. Maybe he has to give Lu Gao some crimes or something. All this depends on what Xu Chengzu, the newly appointed commander of the Jinyiwei, did!"

"I'm not worried about these things!" Tong Xian said quietly: "Didn't you expect that if such a big thing really happens, will you not be affected? Today, Wang Zhi dares to test you blatantly. Do you think the prince really wants to listen to your opinion?"

"No!" Xu Bai was suddenly shocked. He had never thought that he had always regarded himself as the prince's confidant, and whether he did things or offended people, he was based on the interests of the prince. If it was really news of the emperor's death in the palace, he should be the one who was proud of himself.

The prince became the emperor, and his confidant naturally rose. What should he worry about?

"Who is the best person under the prince's sect?" Tong Xian shook his head: "Everyone understands that you, Lord Xu, is the number one lackey under the prince's sect. When His Highness was still in the prince's sect, these officials were afraid of you. If His Highness ascended the throne, do you think these officials can still sleep?"

"What if this group of civil officials in the court took Lord Xu's future or wealth and life as the price of trouble?" Tong snorted first: "Without the prince's most powerful wings and a newcomer, whether it is qualifications, ability, or control over Nan, Jinyiwei, and even the Investigation Factory, it is not as easy as Lord Xu. Wouldn't it be easier for them to deal with it?"

He looked solemn in his eyes: "For what the adults have done in recent years, it is much easier to have a crime for them than to have Lu Gao's crime."

"This, this is too damn good at me!" Xu Bai was stunned: "Isn't this going to kill me?"

"Are there fewer people under the prince's jealousy? Especially those newcomers, who want to replace them, are afraid that there are quite a few. If the adults are besieged and given up as bargaining chips, I am afraid that these people will only applaud and will not have any help!" Tong Xian sighed: "My Lord Xu, don't you know what level of authority your Jinyiwei Nanya, Donggong, and even this Investigation Factory?"

"I am just a prince's servant..."

"Then let me ask you, wherever you can move someone with a knife and a gun in these places?"

Faced with Tong Xian's aggressiveness, Xu Bai suddenly felt a chill behind his back. He had never considered this matter from this perspective. However, since Tong Xian wanted to find this question, there would definitely be other people around the prince.

He even felt a little scared. If he had just tested him for his interest in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei or the commander of the Tongzhi, he would have expressed a little dissatisfaction or his own intention, what would be the consequences? He would have dared to continue thinking about it.

Even if the prince Nian has always been loyal to him, he will not have an extreme way to deal with him. Then, it is certain that he will be sent away from him and neglected for a while.

"Sometimes, the minister is suspicious, not because he has the intention to plot against rebellion, but because he has the ability to plot against rebellion. Yu Qian is like this, Shi Heng is like this, sir... so do you!"

As Tong Xian's words fell, a cold wind blew into the hall, swaying the lights in the room, and Xu Bai's face began to become more and more gloomy, just like the swaying shadows of the lights.

"Anyway, Tong Xian decided to follow the adults to the death!" Tong Xian said calmly: "This is just the worst case. On the better side, perhaps the prince relies on the important person, and now it is the time for the adults to show their skills. From now on, he is favored by the prince and has the power to the government and the people!"

"Okay, I've said so many worst situations. I'll comfort me like this, but it doesn't work much!" Xu Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "This is the situation..."

He thought quietly for a while, and Tong first sat quietly on the side without making any noise.

After a long time, Xu Bai let out a long sigh: "I am not used to handing over my destiny to others. I finally understand why those officials always talk about the age of the prince when they talk about the prince. The prince is young and is indeed impulsive and easily bewitched. Even if the prince regrets his decision in the future, if I am unlucky, I will never be able to change it. I can't just watch him happen!"

"Sir, have you made a decision?" Tong Xian nodded. If the person he followed had no courage and determination, then he would have really followed the wrong person.

"I have some ideas, but this matter must be sure of all. Since the palace decided to let Xu Chengzu take over as the commander of the Jinyiwei, this matter cannot be delayed for too long. I want to go to the palace to inquire about this matter, and then talk to Xu Chengzu before making a decision!"

Tong nodded first. Whenever there was a calmness in major events, Xu Bai was much stronger than Shi Heng. At least, when Shi Heng was in charge of power, he was so arrogant that he couldn't recognize who he was. His persuasion was like the wind in his ears. However, Xu Bai not only listened to his advice, but also knew very well that he was at his own position and what he was going to do.

"Tong first wait for the order of the Lord!" He stood solemnly and bowed his hand to Xu Bai.

"Everything is the same as before in the war factory!" Xu Bai did not hesitate at all: "Except for my father Xu Sanduo, you have to secretly send someone to stare at him. There is only Tang Dao around him, not particularly safe. Do whatever you need to do in other things!"

"Tong understands first!"

"I may come to the Imperial Factory less these days. I won't use the people in the Imperial Factory for the time being!" Xu Bai ordered: "If there is something that cannot be decided, let Wang Zhi decide directly. If His Highness the Crown Prince asks me, I will verify the affairs of my father Xu Sanduo for His Highness!"

Tong nodded first, indicating that he was completely clear about what Xu Bai said.

"Don't send someone to me, if I have something to do, I will look for you!" Xu Bai waved his hand: "Anyway, what we are saying here tonight should not be heard by the third person. Heaven knows it, earth knows it, you know I know it!"

Xu Bai stood up and said, "I hope you are not worried about it too much. This matter has come too quickly. Whether you and me or the prince, I am afraid they are not ready..."
